Objective To analyzed the effects of the positioning errors and weight variability of the head and neck cancer patients with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT),or volumetric modulated arctherapy (VMAT) based on the kilovoltage cone-beam computed tomography (kV-CBCT).Methods CBCT images of 102 patients with head and neck cancer patients receiving IMRT or VMAT were screened by CBCT once a week for consecutively 6 weeks.The positioning errors were measured by comparing CBCT and planning CT in left-right (LR),anterior-posterior (AP) and cranio-caudal (CC) directions.Meanwhile,the weight of patients were measured every week.Results The positioning errors were (0.011 5±0.125 3) cm,(-0.017 6±0.123 3) cm and (-0.014 1±0.156 7) cm in LR,AP and CC directions,respectively.The mean systematic errors were all less than 0.02 cm in three axial directions,while the mean random errors were all within 0.2 cm.There was no statistically significant difference was observed among the setup errors in all three axial directions according to different week.Though the body weight of patients continued to drop during the radiation by with the mean weight loss of 3.5 kg and had a negative correlation with treatment course.Bivariate correlation analysis showed just the positioning errors in CC direction were significantly correlated with body weights loss.Conclusion There is no statistical relationship with in position errors of the patients with their treatment course,and the body weight loss seemed to influence the position errors in CC direction.

OBJECTIVE To study the genotype distribution of CTX-M type ESBLs in ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli. METHODS All 138 strains of E. coli were collected from the First and Third Affiliated Hospitals,Zhengzhou University from 2006 to 2007. The CTX-M type ESBLs genes were amplified by PCR,the products were sequenced after purification. RESULTS Eighty-two of 138 ESBLs-producing E. coli isolates were classified with CTX-M type-ESBLs genes,and there were 53,27 and 2 strains contained only one type,two types and three types of CTX-M ESBLs,respectively. Among CTX-M type-ESBLs genes,they were identified with CTX-M-1(43 strains),CTX-M-14(56 strains),CTX-M-25(7 strains) and CTX-M-38 (5 strains). CONCLUSIONS The most popular type of CTX-M ESBLs in E. coli is CTX-M14 in Zhengzhou,and two or three kinds of genotypes can exist in 1 strain.

Thirty-three patients with esophageal carcinoma (T3N1M0 or less) underwent thoracoscopic surgery in lateral prone position for esophagectomy from February 2010 to November 2012.Their postoperative outcomes and survivals were retrospectively analyzed.The results confirmed the feasibility and safety of this mini-invasive thoracoscopic procedure in lateral prone position for patients with esophageal carcinoma.A possible advantage of lateral prone technique is that in case of an emergency switch to open surgery,precious time may be saved in changing body position.

Objective: To express CTX-M-38 type extended-spectrum-lactamase, and detect its distribution and antibiotic susceptibilities. Methods: Total of 46 strains producing ESBL E.coli was collected from the first affiliated hospital of Zheng zhou University. The CTX-M-38 ESBL gene was selected by PCR using gene recombination technique to construct pET28a-CTX-M-38. The expression of CTX-M-38 in BL21 E.coli and its antibiotic susceptibilities were carried out by liquid dilution test. Testing the enzyme activities of culture supernatant and bacteria sonicate to reflect its distribution. Results: The size of amplified gene product was about 900 bp. The DNA sequence was matched with the information of gene bank. The enzyme activities from bacteria sonicate were stronger than the culture supernatant .The transformant was resistance to penicillins, the first, second and third generations of cephalosporins. It was sensitive to imipenem. The transformant was also sensitive to ceftazidime and aztreonam in vitro, and resistance to antibiotics including beta-lactamase inhibitors except piperacillin/tazobactam. The transformant was also resistance to gentamicin,minocycline, ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin. Conclusion: The CTX-M-38 type ESBL is successfully expressed at designed experimental condition in this study. The product mainly lies inside the bacteria. The transformant shows wide resistance to antibiotics.

Objective　To study the value of B type ultrasonography guiding percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PRFA) for hepatic cancer (HC). Methods　70 patients with primary or metastatic hepatic malignancies were treated by PRFA under ultrasound guidance through LeVeen multipolar array needle electrode and RF 2000. All patients were followed up by turnor marker, B type sounography and MRI monthly. Results　PRFA were performed in 53 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 17 cases with metastatic liver cancer. Liver function classfication was 53 cases in Child class A, 15 in class B and 2 in class C. In 21 patients with non-operated small HCC (≤5 cm), 12 of 17 patients with AFP positive were decreased to normal (70.6%) and decreased markedly in 4 (23.5%), and MRI showed the treated tumors were completely necrosis in 16 patients (76.2%). The 3, 6 month survival rates were 90.5%, 100% respectively in small HC groups, and 66.7% to 72.7% and 27.6% to 72.7% in large HC groups.Conclusions　PRFA as a local thermal therapy is becoming a kind of new palliative treatment for hepatic malignancies, which not only is safe, minimally invasive, and effective for small ones; but also can be used with combination of TACE for larger ones.

Objective: To understand the pathogen spectrum composition of non-bacterial respiratory infections in Pinghu City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide insights for the prevention and control of respiratory infectious diseases. Methods: A total of 592 throat or nasopharynx swab samples were collected from fever patients in Pinghu First People's Hospital from Jamuary 2021 to November 2022. Multiple real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the nucleic acids of rhinovirus (RhV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), parainfluenza virus (PIV), adenovirus (ADV), metapneumovirus (MPV), coronavirus (CoV), Boca virus (Boca), enterovirus (EV), influenza virus (Flu), chlamydia pneumoniae (CP) and mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP). The detection rates of pathogens and mixed infections in different age groups and seasons were analyzed. Results: A total of 212 samples were tested positive for at least one pathogen's nucleic acid from 592 samples, with a total detection rate of 35.81%. The detection rates of RhV (9.80%), PIV (7.26%), Flu (6.76%), RSV (4.39%) and CoV (3.72%) were relatively high. The detection rates were higher among patients at ages of 0 to 2 years and 3 to 17 years than among patients at ages of 18 to 59 years, and in autumn than in spring and winter (all P<0.05). Twenty-three samples were infected by mixed pathogens, accounting for 3.89%. The mixed infections were all detected two pathogens, with PIV, CoV, RhV, and ADV predominant. Conclusions From 2021 to November 2022, the main pathogens of non-bacterial respiratory infections in Pinghu City were RhV, PIV, FLu, RSV and CoV, and there were mixed infections.
